10. Panasonic G10 Series Plasma HDTVs

By Lev Grossman and Peter HaTuesday, Dec. 08, 2009

Picking one television from a ginormous wall of TVs at your local retailer can be a daunting task. Do you go with an LCD, a plasma or one of those newfangled LED sets? The choices are endless, but Panasonic's G10 series of plasma HDTVs hits the mark in every respect. Not only do the sets consume less power than previous 1080p plasma TVs and score high in black-level performance, but the G10 line is THX-certified. That means movie-image reproduction on every G10 is exactly the way the filmmaker intended, giving viewers the ultimate cinema-like experience. Another notable feature is Viera Cast, which lets you access online content like YouTube, Picasa and Amazon's VOD service through your TV. Question is, Does it make popcorn? Price: $1,200 to $2,000.
